Sony MZ-RH10 / MZ-M100
Brand : Sony
The MZ-RH10 is a Hi-MD Walkman offered in black, silver, blue and orange. Black models feature black transport buttons and jog wheel, while other colors feature silver transport buttons and jog wheel. All models feature a silver accent on the edge and battery door.
Its sister model, the MZ-M100, was sold as a field recorder (packaged with Sony's ECM-DS70P stereo microphone) and boasting Macintosh support for Linear PCM uploading. The MZ-M100 features black transport buttons, jog wheel, and a black accent on the edge and battery door.
The two models are otherwise largely identical other than their external appearance and included items. They both share a large OLED display and support for running off an external AA battery for power (with the included EBP-RH10 battery case).
Both models appear to have been released worldwide. However, mainly Japanese examples have appeared for sale recently on the Internet. The Japanese models include support for a charging dock.
Note: The OLED screen is known to go bad rather quickly, and there are no known replacements. In fact, I haven't seen any with a functioning screen in a few years. It can still be used with a remote, though some settings may be difficult to change.
